They do have more than they put up on the galleries but you have to ask for anything specific (and it costs). I like the old J4 van, my old man had one of these, oh the happy memories of choking on the fumes inside the cab....

1965 Monte Carlo victor on displayMorris Mini Cooper S (AJB 4B) in 1966. The winner of the 1965 Monte Carlo rally driven by Timo Makinen and Paul Easter goes on display in the Morris Garages showroom with trophies from all its rally victories. Registration mark AJB 4B Competition number 52. The notice on top of the car is an ironic reference to the contentious disqualifications of the three Mini Coopers which came 1st 2nd and 3rd in the 1966 Monte Carlo rally.
